Henryk Stolarski: A Balanced Life
Posted
Professor Henry Stolarski has learned something about life. "Something that has been true throughout my life is that mathematics is a skill useful for almost everything. Yet there must be balance. Mathematics is a useful and wonderful thing, but it is painful, too. To learn it sometimes you must struggle. Success is one thing in life, but some sort of enjoyment is also important."
